let’s check out how serious the environmental situation is in the world. recent years have seen an increasing number of reports on the extinction of species, soil erosion as well as air pollution. the history of industrialization and urbanization has been a history of declining environmental quality. we may be satisfied with our so called modern life, but please do not turn a blind eye to what’s happened around us. water is polluted. animals are killed. resources are devoured. and farmlands turn into desserts.

ladies and gentlemen, the earth is in our hands. save it, or destroy it, it’s our choice. our efforts will be powerful enough to save the world. if everyone, including you and me, is engaged in this world-saving project, environment will never ever be my top concern.篇二：外研社杯演讲比赛演讲稿

what we can not afford to lose

good morning ladies and gentlemen,i am shibing.today i will talk about what we can not afford to lose.

to begin with,i want to mention that we will get a lot in our whole life.meanwhile,we will lose a lot of things in our life.but the most important thing is that we can not afford to lose honesty.

honesty is a basic standard of being a human.beside, honesty is a traditional moral of china.since ancient times,we all take

honesty as a standard of judge a person’s quality.we can not afford to lose honesty because losing honesty means to be fail.

in business,losing honesty means losing money or customers,then you will fail in your business.take a simple example,a seller who

always gives short weight to the customers ,he will earn less money or even lose the customers in the long term,because customers are more likely to buy things from the seller who is honest,and we won’t buy things from the seller if we know he is dishonest. in career,losing honesty means losing a job or the opportunity to apply for a job.when i was watching the tv program zhi lai zhi wang ,there is a beautiful lady who fail to apply the job because of her fake academic credential.on the contrary,a man who succeed in applying the job because he is honest.

in our daily life,losing honesty means losing friends or otherpeople’s trust to us. if a person is dishonest,no one would like to get along with him,and on one want to be a friend with him.in

addiction,being honest can ger respect from others,the opposite to dishonest.

all in all,honesty is very important for being a human,we can nor afford to lose it. so much for my speaking, thanks for your listening!

2012.11.3篇三：change the unchangeable外研社杯演讲比赛演讲稿

外研社杯演讲比赛2014年---- change the unchangeable

（一）change the unchangeable

good morning, everyone. it’s my pleasure to deliver this speech here. the subject of my presentation is “change the unchangeable”, which means try your best to make a change when stuck in an unchangeable situation.

no wonder that there exists something unchangeable in our life, getting into the way

of striving for what we want. there are plenty of unchangeable obstacles for us. they are serious and they are many. they will hardly be meet. but know this, my friends, they will be meet. once you believe in yourself, the unchangeable is going to be changed.

nothing is impossible, and in a sense, nothing is unchangeable! the thing absolutely unchangeable does not exist. sometimes, adversities seems really unchangeable for the moment, but we must realize that they can be changed in some way. moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of god. as we can also see in the film “the king’s speech”, stammer is unchangeable for the king, the duke of york. but once his realized that he need to make a change and inspired by the words “to be or not to be, it is a question”, he returned to the hospital, and accepted the retreatment again. with the help of the doctor lionel logue, he gradually made progress and managed to get over his unchangeable physicaldisability.

these were the people who managed to change the unchangeable. some of them make a change in a direct way, and others do not change the adversity unchangeable exactly, but they succeed in changing what they could do in the unchangeable situation. they changed the authoritative view the majority put on them. and this is the right way in which we can change the unchangeable.

to conclude, i appeal to all of you for doubting the unchangeable and trying to change the unchangeable.

（二）change the unchangeable

you think that you are a victim. in fact, you’re not a victim. so stop blaming other people or your circumstances for your problems, just because you don’t like where you are now doesn’t mean that you can’t take personal responsibility to change it for the better. so get rid of that mentality because it doesn’t help anything. actually, it acts as an obstacle to success. realize that you, and only you, are responsible for your destiny.

in a word, you just make great effort; keep the right attitude, and believe that everything is possible if you try to do it. change the unchangeable; your life will be better.

（三）change the unchangeable

when i was about 10 years old in primary school, i believed that my future would have nothing to do with two things: music and english. now, i play my guitar nearly every day and in the near future i will be hosting an english salon.

英语演讲比赛心得

“外研社杯”英语演讲比赛心得 在这次“外研社杯”英语演讲比赛当中，我做为一名选手，感受颇深，这也是我第一次参加这样展示自我的一次比赛，应该对于我来说意义非凡，学到了不少。收获荣誉的同时，我的心灵受到了强烈的震撼和洗礼，参加此次演讲比赛是我人生中非常特别的一次体验，不仅仅是比赛的环节和考验给我留下了深刻的印象，而且这一路走来的心理历练也让我收获颇多。 通过这次的演讲比赛，首先我最想表达的就是感谢。正是因为老师们对我的全力支持，才有了我今天出色的演讲。在此，我要感谢我的我的老师李雁给我的演讲稿做的点睛式地鼓舞，正是因为有这位老师在演讲技巧和稿件写作上给予了我很大帮助和启发，才有我在演讲台上的“淋漓表演”，使我信心越来越强。其次，具体到演讲过程中，首先要有一个好的演讲稿，演讲稿的题材、角度一定要新颖，绝不重复别人的故事，你想那么多的参赛选手，如果学习的榜样总是那几位英雄，无论你多么慷慨激昂，评委们听得多了，便也不会觉得新颖了，因此你的演讲稿就没有什么亮点。一个演讲要有亮点，什么是亮点？与众不同。 另外还有六个方面的小技巧：1、一见倾心：演讲者着装得体、精神振奋、姿态优雅，会使听众有个很好的第一印象。2、一鸣惊人：在演讲开场的三句话内，要能在声音、情感、语调上一炮打响，打动听众，这样演讲就很容易成功。 3、一语中的：在演讲中，演讲者要在适当的时候，一般在热烈的当口上，以简单明确的慨括性语言，说出你的主题观点，最好能用上排比句式来表达，会给听众留下深刻印象。 4、情理交融：演讲之所以要有演的成分，是因为要先体现以情说理，再以理服人。所以在演讲中，演讲者要善于运用动人感人的事例、体验典型人和物、调动听众的情感，在引起情感共鸣的基础上，适时阐明道理和主题，常常会使你的演讲效果倍增。 5、言行一致：演讲中与听众的交流非常

英语即兴演讲对演讲人员的英语水平要求较高，这就需要演讲人员在平常的学习生活中进行大量的英语知识积累。下面是为大家整理了英语即兴演讲稿，欢迎大家阅读。 Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you very much for choosing to e in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he ac plished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and re onized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of plaining. In retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months be es an unf etable experience in my life. We should learn to stick to our life no matter how difficult the life is and we should learn to love others .It is the flim tellsx me . It is a story talks about a black girl named Precious .Precious isx fat and not beautiful. Her bad temped mother never workx, always cheated others to relieve her ,and atex while watching TV all day.What is worse ,Precious was only 16,but she had pregnant for twice .Out of assumption ,her child is her farther ''s child .Living in this life ,she alawys imagine to avoid facing her life .Fortunately,with the help and careneof the teacher and doctor ,her life became not so bad . Precious has a tough life ,and if she gives up her life and does not join the adult cation ,she will not meet the teacher and her life may not be changed .When we xfaced with the difficulty x,avoidingx is not a good way for us. It can not solve the problems.What we need to do is that analying the cause and trying to changed our place .So we should be brave and face the trap directly.

2021年外研社杯英语演讲比赛(1) Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success. However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’hopes and ideals. Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope. What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success! 2021年外研社杯英语演讲比赛(2) Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

2017“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛 Task 1 Argumentative Writing Write an essay in response to the passage below. You should state clearly whether you agree or disagree with the passage and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the author’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 500 words. If you still think of the Internet as a means of opening up a vast world of information to people, you may be completely wrong. Playing a positive role in its early days, the Internet is now enclosing people in a walled room. Have you noticed that when different people google the same thing, for example, “Chinese culture” or “America”, they get different search results? Websites selectively guess which information is appropriate to a user based on his/her location, past-click behavior and search history, and tailor information and recommendations accordingly. The more one uses the Internet, the more likely one is kept away from different opinions, and trapped in one’s own cultural ideological bubble. The situation worsens when Internet-boosted social networks creep into every corner of our lives. Although there seems to be a large amount of information updated almost every second, the information is only available from people’s friend-circles or the subscriptions (公众号) they choose. Beyond these circles and choices, people do not really have access to the unknown. They become imprisoned in a confined world.

外研社杯比赛演讲稿1

“外研社杯”英语演讲比赛演讲稿 Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen: Today my topic is ’Nuclear power: a blessing or a disaster?’ When the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, the world was thrust into atomic age. Meanwhile in the commence of cold war and during its long term, it had set the world into fear and panic of nuclear war many times. But over the years, nuclear power has found its way to promote goodness for humankind .It promises to provide clean and efficient energy for the centuries to come. So whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster? There is no firm answer for this question from my own perspective. Ladies and gentlemen, my very initial contact with nuclear power was from a TV programme called Green Space where I saw for the first time how nuclear power had changed people’s lives and what it had left for the residents’ living around Chyrnobil nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, It was a sad story. My heart sank when I saw a boy infant appear on the screen smiling with big blue sparkling eyes. He was so cute and adorable just like all the other kids but he was blinded. What’s more, he had to receive medical treatment everyday to alleviate radiation damage, but still stood little chance of growing up. Later I learned that inappropriate operation and equipment design defect was responsible for the tradegy .Eight years has past, but the picture of that boy’s smile still appears infront of me and reminds me that nuclear power can be a living devil. However, with the increasing depletion of resources and the instant demand for energy, clean and efficient nuclear power may seem the best choice. As an old saying goes ’Every sword has two blades.’ Nuclear power is dangerous, yet efficient; environmental devastated yet clean; expensive yet sustainable. It is a matter of how we use and how we treat it. While let’s beyond all this ,whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster, it’s ours’ choice. Thank you for listening!

英语即兴演讲稿（带翻译）3分钟3篇 英语即兴演讲稿（带翻译）3分钟篇1 My Definition of Success By Bao Jinlong(鲍金龙) It is easy to describe success in terms of money,fame and reputation. But I believe that success is not external.I believe that success comes from within.My definition of success is to be true to yourself,and be true to others.That means,that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity.I also believe that success is not discriminatory. Success is not restricted to such a class of people,in fact,it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race,creed,gender and economic background.A good example of success is that of Beethoven.He is one of the world's most famous composers,yet he was deaf.He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created.Yet,in the face of this adversity,he was able to maintain his ideals--that of composing music. To exemplify what success means to me,I pose a question to all of you.What brings us together here today?I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word.The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word.I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves. These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them. I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures,Once was drawn by a normal child,the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions.The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain.The other was life-like,
